IT Is true the old Council left the
present one a debt, but the old Coun,
Gil found a debt when it went in. The
old Council also bought hose and a
reel, put in thing and macadamized,
paid for cells and finished paying for
the new City Hall. We think the
old City Council have good work to
show for the money spent. Because
a Council leaves a debt is no reason
any M claims a NAL administration.
We had no idea of leaving any such
an impression in our reference to the
matter.
